We do most earnestly urge the
Democrats in the Legislature not to
compromise on a Trimmer. Do not
elect man who has been afraid to
express his opinions. Such man
will certainly desert the very persons
to whom he is most indebted for his
election. We infinitely prefer Cam
den to any man who has been play
inc false TO both sides. We have
in our eye several aspirants who,
while pretending to be in favor of
hlm, have been scheming to accom-
plish his defeat. Give us a man
who stands ont so the people can see
him. If the writer held the relations
to Mr.. Camden that are held by
Chancellor, Leonard or Sommeryilie,
he would infinitely prefer Lucas for
two years to Henry G. Davis for six.
If the writer were supporting Cam
den, he would certainly prefer
square, bold, manly opponent to any
Mugwump. On this point we are
certain We express the judgment of
the party. A Mugwump, in politics.

is said that the Judge who tried and
the jury who convicted the bomb
throwers, and all other active officials,
will be murdered if the hanging takes
place, and that great apprehension
exists. The Chicago Journal denies
these statements and says: s'There is
not q ~perceptible emotion of popular
alarm. The dynamitards outside of
the jail are conscious OF the danger
that surrounds them from the agents
of law and justice. The desperate

of their associates want to look
